Disney Lorcana 2026 release schedule: all 4 confirmed sets from Winterspell to Hyperia City, plus the Q1 2027 Into the Inkdark reveal and exact dates.

Reviewing
Disney Lorcana
The Disney Lorcana 2026 release schedule is on track and fully mapped out: three of the year's four planned sets have already shipped, the fourth has a confirmed date and is in its preview window, and Ravensburger has already put a name and a rough date on what comes after that. If you're trying to figure out when the next Disney Lorcana set drops, or you just want the full year laid out in one place instead of piecing it together from four separate product announcements, this is that page.
TL;DR: Updated September 16, 2026. Disney Lorcana has released three sets in 2026 on schedule so far: Winterspell (Set 11, February 20), Wilds Unknown (Set 12, May 15), and Attack of the Vine (Set 13, July 24). The fourth, Hyperia City (Set 14), is confirmed for prerelease October 16 and wide release October 23, still upcoming as of this writing. Set 15, Into the Inkdark, is officially confirmed for Q1 2027 with a villain-focused theme, though Ravensburger hasn't locked in an exact date. Ravensburger has also announced Cosmic Quest for spring 2027, but details beyond the title and season remain limited.
Four sets total on the 2026 calendar, each about ten to eleven weeks apart: Winterspell in February, Wilds Unknown in May, and Attack of the Vine in July have all released; Hyperia City is confirmed for October 23 but hasn't dropped yet as of this update. Every set has followed the same rollout pattern, a local-game-store prerelease about a week before the full retail release, and Hyperia City's prerelease (October 16) is set to follow that same rhythm. Set 15, Into the Inkdark, comes after that, confirmed for Q1 2027 but without a locked date yet.
| Set | Number | Prerelease | Wide Release | New Franchise | Status (Aug 31, 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Winterspell | Set 11 | Feb 13, 2026 | Feb 20, 2026 | Frozen | Released |
| Wilds Unknown | Set 12 | May 8, 2026 | May 15, 2026 | Toy Story, Brave, The Incredibles | Released |
| Attack of the Vine | Set 13 | Jul 17, 2026 | Jul 24, 2026 | Monsters, Inc., Up, Turning Red | Released, in current Core pool |
| Hyperia City | Set 14 | Oct 16, 2026 | Oct 23, 2026 | Coco, Big Hero 6 | Upcoming, confirmed date |
| Into the Inkdark | Set 15 | TBA | Q1 2027 (exact date unconfirmed) | Onward | Confirmed, date TBA |
Winterspell opened the year as a holiday-themed set, built around Scrooge McDuck, the Ghosts of Christmas, and a run of winter-sport cards including Stitch and Mickey on snowboards. Frozen characters were also confirmed for the set, folding an existing Disney property deeper into the game rather than introducing something entirely new. Local game stores ran prerelease events from February 13 through 15, with the full global release landing February 20. A companion Scrooge McDuck Gift Box followed a few weeks later, on March 13.
Wilds Unknown was the bigger structural story of the year. It's the set where Pixar characters entered Lorcana for the first time, with Toy Story, Brave, and The Incredibles all debuting glimmers in the same 200-plus-card release. Prerelease ran May 8, with the wide release on May 15. Up to that point every Lorcana set had drawn exclusively from Disney's animated features, so three Pixar franchises landing at once was a real shift in what the card pool could pull from going forward, not just a themed refresh.
Attack of the Vine kept the Pixar pipeline going, adding Monsters, Inc., Up, and Turning Red on top of returning favorites like Winnie the Pooh and The Little Mermaid. Prerelease started July 17, the same day the set became legal in Core and Infinity formats alongside a rotation that pulled Sets 5 through 8 out of Core Constructed. The wide release followed on July 24. Attack of the Vine includes Iconic cards, a chase treatment first introduced with Set 9: Fabled and continued here alongside Enchanted cards. For the complete rundown on what's actually good to play out of the set, the Attack of the Vine complete set guide breaks down every archetype worth building.
Attack of the Vine remains the newest released set in the current Core Constructed pool as of September 16, 2026. If you're deciding what to build around before Hyperia City adds another 200-plus cards to the pool, that window is closing.

Hyperia City will close out the year with an urban fantasy setting, officially described as a place where "metro meets fantasy," and it marks Coco's first appearance in the game through Miguel Rivera and Hector Rivera, both Street Musician characters, plus the song card Un Poco Loco. The official product page also confirms Big Hero 6 elements (Honey Lemon, plus Khan Industries and Khan Stadium as landmarks), so the set's crossover count is at least two franchises, not one. Prerelease is set for October 16, with the wide release October 23, a little under two months after Attack of the Vine. That gap is giving the July set real room to settle as the format's core before Hyperia City's 200-plus-card main release changes what's playable. As of this update (September 16, 2026), Hyperia City is still in its preview window, not yet released; the full breakdown of confirmed cards and product lineup is in the Hyperia City Set 14 preview.

Two sets in a row bringing in multiple new franchises apiece (Attack of the Vine's trio, then Coco plus Big Hero 6 elements for Hyperia City) suggests Ravensburger is treating outside crossovers as a standing part of the release cadence now, not a one-off marketing beat.

Ravensburger used a special Lore Cast broadcast to look past 2026 and name Set 15 directly: Into the Inkdark, scheduled for Q1 2027. There's already a live official product page for it on disneylorcana.com, built around a villain-centric theme the page calls "Villainy Heats Up," with Hades featured in the product art and Maleficent shown on the revealed card "Biding Her Time." The set also introduces a new Illustrious rarity, available only in Collector Boosters that use premium foil treatments and improve the odds of rarer cards. No exact release date has been announced yet, only the Q1 2027 window. Read the Into the Inkdark Set 15 preview for the latest confirmed product details and the current list of unknowns. Ravensburger has separately announced Cosmic Quest for spring 2027, but has not yet published enough product detail to place it more precisely on this schedule.
A second 2027 release is now officially named Cosmic Quest. Ravensburger has announced a spring 2027 window, but has not yet published a full product page, exact date, or confirmed a Lilo and Stitch theme. Until those details arrive, treat the title and season as the confirmed part and any further theme or timing as unannounced.
Four sets a year on a roughly ten-week rhythm means the competitive pool keeps moving whether or not you're ready for it. Core Constructed rotates older sets out on a schedule tied to these releases, which is exactly what happened when Sets 5 through 8 dropped out the same day Attack of the Vine went live. If you're building toward a specific set's prerelease, that's usually a two-to-three week window to finalize a decklist before the format shifts again. New to the game and trying to figure out where ink colors and deckbuilding fit into all of this first? The Disney Lorcana complete guide covers the fundamentals before you start tracking set-by-set changes like these.
Every date in this Disney Lorcana 2026 release schedule traces back to Ravensburger's own disneylorcana.com product pages and news posts, cross-checked against the periodic Lore Cast broadcasts where Ravensburger previews upcoming sets on video. None of the 2026 dates here are estimates or leaks. Hyperia City's October 23 date and Into the Inkdark's Q1 2027 window are both still forward-looking as of this update, since neither set has released yet, but both are sourced the same way, an official product page rather than a leak or fan estimate. Cosmic Quest is also official for spring 2027, while its full product details remain unannounced.
How many Disney Lorcana sets released in 2026? Four are planned for the year. As of September 16, 2026, three have released: Winterspell (Set 11, February 20), Wilds Unknown (Set 12, May 15), and Attack of the Vine (Set 13, July 24). Hyperia City (Set 14) is confirmed for October 23, 2026, the fourth and final 2026 set.
What is the next Disney Lorcana set after Hyperia City? Into the Inkdark, Set 15, officially confirmed for Q1 2027 with a villain-focused theme centered on Hades and a new Illustrious rarity tier. Ravensburger has published an official product page but has not announced an exact release date yet.
When does Disney Lorcana Hyperia City release? Prerelease events start October 16, 2026, with the full wide release on October 23, 2026. As of September 16, 2026 it's still upcoming. It's Set 14 and introduces Coco and Big Hero 6 elements to the game for the first time.
Is there a Disney Lorcana set 16? Not as a Lilo and Stitch set. Ravensburger has announced Cosmic Quest for spring 2027, but has not published a full product page, exact release date, or confirmed that theme.
How often does Ravensburger release new Disney Lorcana sets? Roughly every 10 to 11 weeks, four sets a year. Every 2026 set followed the same pattern: a local-game-store prerelease one week before the full wide release.
Where can I find official Disney Lorcana release dates? disneylorcana.com is the primary source. Ravensburger posts a dedicated product page for each set once it's announced, along with periodic Lore Cast video reveals that cover release windows, themes, and early card art.
